Togasi is working Hunter x Hunter blocked for some time and HxH Chapter 407 is highly anticipated. The HxH story goes deep into its current arc with the succession contest within the Black Whale. Togashi has been writing many complex stories that will all eventually connect here.

Fans can definitely expect some intense focus on the Phantom Troop, as this arc looks set to mark their end, or at least the end of their leader, Chrollo Lucifer. Togashi is definitely planning big for the next chapters.

Heil-Ly and the Phantom Troupe in Action

• Dogman and Sodom will kidnap someone
• Feitan and Phinks discover Heil-Ly's hiding place

In Hunter X Hunter 404, Morena and her group are seen planning to kidnap someone. Specifically, Dogman will be seen in action as Morena's strongest and most advanced human, with the ability to determine someone's nen type, proficiency, and even their entire identity, based on how close he gets to sniffing them. Dogman will also be accompanied by another member of Sodom, Heil-Ly. Using Hulkenberg's funeral journey, their goal in this mission will be to kidnap a man – who still doesn't know how to use Nen.

While Chapter 404 didn't mention who this person would be, Morena and Hel-Lai were already shrunk chapters earlier. It is implied that the person Morena aims to kidnap is a member of the 4th Prince Tseridnich's private army. Some of them may definitely attend the funeral. It is unknown if Morena will kidnap at this point, and fans will have to wait to see what Togashi's plan is.

However, in HxH 407, fans will surely see this plan as a procession of Hulkenberg's funeral procession. It won't be the only thing going on with Heil-Ly. Two members of the Phantom Troop will soon infiltrate their hideout. Feitan and Phinks, who had separated from Nobunaga, are still heading towards Heil-Ly's hideout, as they were given better access by Cha-R to move between the different layers of the Black Whale. However, as fans have seen in HxH 406, the transmitter that was turned into an oyster by Hinrich escaped from Nen and would soon be discovered by a member of Heil-Ly. That said, Heil-Ly doesn't find it in time, and the Phantom Troop gets to their hideout first. There, there might be a fight, but Feitan and Phinks don't plan to fight except in self-defense to be able to stay in the hideout.

One person who could definitely get in their way is Wang, Cha-R's under-boss, who appears to be working for Morena. The plot with the Phantom Troupe and Heil-Ly is definitely heating up, and Togashi is planning something big with the two groups.

Another character that Togashi will soon focus on is Nobunaga. This member of the Spider has some great development in this arc. Nobunaga is moving alone, and will be a major character in the upcoming chapters.

Chrollo advances to steal the national treasure

• Chrollo needs to steal Kakin treasures to gain powerful abilities
• Chrollo has to gain this powerful ability to kill Hisoka

The Phantom Troupe has been playing a central role in this succession contest arc in the manga. Of course, the most interesting character among them is, surprisingly, Chrollo Lucifer, their leader.

He is going to the first level on the Black Whale. Chrollo has been using Love Dial 6700 to locate someone, but who this person is is currently unknown. There is a hint that this person may be Kurapika. Regardless, Chrollo will shine in the upcoming chapters, especially since this arc could be his last in HxH.

Hisoka and Chrollo have a rematch this arc, and Hisoka takes out some of Chrollo's fellow Phantom Troops, sending him deeper into despair. Hisoka can quickly kill another member of the group, Bonolenov, who is currently close to him.

The story returns to Kakin Rajkumar and Kurapika

Halkenburg's plans are currently in the works

He recently switched from focusing on Kakin Princesses to the Mafia and Phantom Troop plotline, and he may soon return to Princes. Hunter x Hunter Chapter 407. A fascinating character in this arc is Prince Halkenburg. This prince killed his original body and is currently in the body of the first prince Benjamin's bodyguard. The story may focus on her attempts to reach Benjamin. However, chaos would soon ensue at his own funeral.

Other interesting plotlines for Princes currently underway include the one with Prince Fugetsu.

Kurapika is also very busy right now, starting a new Nen workshop. He plans to reveal the contents of Queen Oito's letter, which may elicit some action from the prince, a good guess being Camilla here.
